If you have a thrown rod, you will have a loud rhythmic banging noise that changes frequency with the engine RPM speed. The sound will be quite like the sound when banging two hammers together. You will also have extremely low or no oil pressure.
The Tie rod connects the steering mechanism to the front wheels. When you turn the steering wheel, the tie rod pushes or pulls the wheel to turn in the direction desired. So there are two tie rods- one for each wheel. If even one tie rod is broken you can't steer the car. The car will be un-drivable.
